Products can help you use tech more safely — policy fixes the problem.
A well-engineered case reduces near-body exposure by enforcing correct orientation and better habits. It cannot repair a system held to heat-only, 1996-era limits, preempted local voices, and stalled federal obligations. We fight to update the rules and pivot indoor connectivity to light—while helping you protect your family today.
No percentage claims. Real-life reduction = orientation + antenna behavior + duty cycle. Teach habits. Avoid antenna mistakes.
Pulsed / Modulated RF → Ion-Channel Mistiming → ROS
- AReal-world signals are pulsed and modulated. Those envelopes drive ion forced-oscillation of voltage-gated ion channels (IFO-VGIC), mis-timing Ca2+/Na+ currents that coordinate cell function.
- BThat mistiming spikes ROS. Elevated Ca2+ activates mitochondrial ETC, NOX/NOS and other redox enzymes, generating reactive-oxygen species (ROS) above the cell’s budget.
- CROS is the universal amplifier. Wherever oxidative stress is etiological—plaque, DNA breaks, neuro-inflammation—extra ROS turns embers into fires.
Short version: RF = bioelectric dissonance; dissonance → ROS flood; ROS flood accelerates existing disease pathways.
Overwhelming OS signal at non-thermal intensities
- 93 of 100 RFR studies found oxidative effects (Yakymenko 2016). PubMed
- 124 of 131 (95%) studies at non-thermal RF/WC intensities reported significant oxidative effects (update summarized 2025). Frontiers 2025
- WHO-commissioned work: animal cancer review reports strongest certainty for heart schwannomas and gliomas; male fertility SR shows adverse signals (with 2025 corrigendum). Animals—cancer · Male fertility (2024) · Corrigendum 2025
- Mechanism deep-dive (IFO-VGIC; pulsed/modulated emphasis): Panagopoulos 2025; VGCC pathway syntheses: Pall 2013.
OS appears across animals, cells, and non-mammalian models; pulsed/modulated exposure stands out.
Acetaminophen (APAP) can lower glutathione while its metabolite touches sodium channels
- 1APAP depletes glutathione during NAPQI detox. Mechanism · StatPearls
- 2AM404 (APAP metabolite) directly inhibits NaV1.7/1.8 in nociceptors—a timing layer. PNAS 2025
- 3Put together: RF’s 24/7 ROS + APAP’s GSH drawdown + Na-channel interaction = a plausible redox-and-timing amplifier, most consequential in development and fertility.
The fix isn’t fear; it’s engineering + prudent pharmacology: reduce indoor RF (wired/Li-Fi) and use APAP judiciously when needed.
Oxidative stress sits under the world’s top killers
- Cardiovascular disease: ~19.8M deaths (2022). WHO
- All cancers: ~9.7M deaths (2022). GLOBOCAN
- Chronic respiratory disease: ~3.5M (2021). WHO
- Diabetes (direct): ~1.6M (2021). WHO
- Dementia: a top-ten cause; rising sharply since 2000. WHO
- Chronic kidney disease: ~1.4–1.5M/yr. GBD 2024
- Liver disease & cirrhosis: ~2.0M/yr. J Hepatol
- Lower-respiratory infections: ~2.4M/yr. FIRS
RF exposure is not the sole spark—but it’s the only pollutant now touching virtually everyone, every day, with documented ROS/OS effects. That’s why action is urgent.
Misleading marketing vs. first-principles design
| Misleading claim or feature | TruthCase™ principle |
|---|---|
| “99% protection everywhere” from a fabric swatch | Orientation & duty cycle rule reality. Put the shield between you & the phone; teach habits. |
| Metal loops, magnet plates, thick 360° wraps | Don’t detune antennas. Phones raise transmit power to hold the link—opposite of safety. |
| Large unshielded ear-side speaker hole | Maintain continuity where you need it most. No big aperture at the ear. |
| Vague or no usage guidance | Teach the playbook. Calling posture, pocket orientation, distance, night discipline. |
Physics + honest guidance beats slogans.
TruthScore — quick red-flag check
Tick any that apply to your current case, then read the guidance below.
Ohmmeter verification — proof you can touch
- Set any basic ohmmeter to continuity (beep) mode.
- Touch one lead to the access point near the ear-side aperture inside the front cover.
- Touch the other lead to a second point on the shield layer.
- Continuity = a real conductive shield path.
A transparent way to prove there’s more than marketing fabric in the cover.
What a good case can—and cannot—do
Products are training wheels. Policy is the solution.
Act now: demand lawful, modern protection. Ask HHS to enforce Public Law 90-602 (electronic-product radiation program), press the FCC to complete the court’s remand, and tell Congress to restore local rights by repealing §704. Call it the Clean Aether Act: Repeal 704 · Enforce PL 90-602 · Mandate Li-Fi indoors.
Also ask your school board to pilot Li-Fi (IEEE 802.11bb) for indoor connectivity and publish phone-use guidance on orientation, distance, and night placement.
SAR Research & Tools
SAR is a thermal compliance metric. Real-world exposure depends on orientation, duty cycle, simultaneous radios, signal quality, and antenna efficiency. These tools make those differences visible and shareable.

Repeal Section 704 — restore health voices
§704 bars localities from denying towers on RF-health grounds if FCC limits are met. That gags First- & Tenth-Amendment functions. Repeal it.
Make the FCC finish the job
The D.C. Circuit ruled the FCC’s decision to keep 1996 limits “arbitrary and capricious” and sent it back. Track the days and demand a real response.
Enforce the “shall” — restart RF research
The law says HHS shall run an electronic-product radiation program including research and public information. Hold them to it.

Light was first—and it’s the clean indoor path now. Advocate a national Li-Fi-first policy while standards modernize.

Evidence & References
SAR is thermal compliance — not a biological safety seal
U.S. portable-device SAR is 1.6 W/kg over 1 g (47 CFR §2.1093); EU uses 2.0 W/kg over 10 g. These heat-based limits ignore modulation and long-term biology.
Oxidative stress evidence base (93/100 → 124/131)
Yakymenko et al. found 93/100 RFR studies positive for oxidative effects; updated syntheses report 124/131 (95%) positive at non-thermal RF/WC intensities, typically pulsed/modulated.

Does it “block 99%”?
No slogans. Real exposure depends on orientation, antenna behavior, and duty cycle—not a fabric swatch.
Why avoid magnets/loops/plates?
They can detune antennas. Phones then raise transmit power to maintain the link. That’s backwards for safety.
Is TruthCase™ the same as QuantaCase®?
TruthCase™ is QuantaCase® by RF SAFE—antenna-aware, ohmmeter-verifiable, usage-guided.
What about kids?
Teach distance (speaker/wired), avoid pockets, shorter on-head calls, and no phones on nightstands near heads.
Evidence at a glance
- Policy: U.S. limits are heat-only (1996); §704 preempts local health-based siting decisions.
- Bioassays: NTP & Ramazzini report tumor signals (heart schwannomas; brain gliomas).
- WHO SRs: Animal cancer certainty strongest for heart schwannomas; male fertility shows adverse signals (corrigendum 2025).
- Path forward: Light-First indoors (IEEE 802.11bb), smarter RF outdoors, modernized federal guidance.
